Dallas attorney Jamey Newberg has been covering the Texas Rangers, from the big club down through the entire farm system, since 1998. His website can be found at www.newbergreport.com.

NEWBERG REPORT PLUS: A load of bull

Detroit came in having won seven straight, sporting a composite .299/.366/.437 hitting line in that stretch, averaging more than seven runs a game, giving up fewer than three a game, and committing just three errors as a team. En fuego.

Jeremy Bonderman came into the game with an 8-0 record, twice as many wins as any other undefeated starter in baseball.

Texas landed in Michigan at 5 a.m. this morning, making what was already shaping up to be buzzsaw of a game a potential cover-your-eyes affair.

But there was Kameron Loe, unfazed and single-minded, taking the ball. Seven innings. Two runs. Seven hits, two walks.

Fifteen groundouts. Five flyouts.

Fif. Teen. Ground. Outs.

He’s a bull.

— Jamey

P.S. Nice job, Tigers, making Akinori Otsuka throw all of nine pitches in the eighth.

FANTASTIC win by the Rangers and a brilliant job by Kam Loe .. He sure has done his job since his “send down to AAA ” maybe all our Major League pitches should get the same treatment???? Do you think it would wake the others up?
